New Theory

I don't believe now that the illness I have been struggling with the last couple days is a result of the ice cream/Listeria scare. The more research that I did on that illness, the less I believe that is what I had - although the symptoms are similar. The effects of Listeria take a period of incubation and I felt the symptoms the following day. I am now leaning toward a new medication that I started less than 30 days ago following my physical  It is a cholesterol lowering drug - Lipitor - which also has the same symptoms as possible side effects, including all of the itching that I have all over my body. I spent another sleepless night last night while suffering from the itchiness. I didn't do the research on that drug until after I took my daily dose yesterday so now I have to stop the medication and wait and see if that is the problem. If there is no improvement by Monday, I will call my doctor.

Today begins a stretch of three straight days working at Sam's Club so I hope there are no further complications. All three of those days are long ones. Josie works today but is off tomorrow.
